Wild Waters Photo Journal is a beautiful journey showing a hidden and increasingly threatened part of the planet. I hope these pictures and this book help educate and inspire people to protect the life of the seas.
Face to face with an anaconda! Up close to the great white shark! In this wonderful tour underwater, from Brazil to Indonesia, from Mexico to Florida, the brilliant photographer Michael Patrick O'Neill illuminates the wild, unexpected, seldom-seen world of marine life. Come on in!
“Out of sight, out of mind” is out of the question in this latest installment of Michael O’Neill’s brilliant work. When we are confronted with such powerful images, it becomes a moral issue to take every step necessary to ensure that our planet’s marine biodiversity prevails into the future. The power of photography allows us to build a new appreciation of our beautiful planet.
In dramatic and memorable images, O'Neill documents the beauty of the water world in four areas of the globe threatened by habitat destruction or overfishing. Through his eyes, we see the diversity, color and uniqueness of life underwater. His photographs should inspire us to help preserve these regions.
Michael's spectacular work displays his determination to capture nature at its very best. These images and the stories they tell will bring you closer to the fragile underwater realm.
Once again, Michael has used his formidable photographic skills and artistry to take his mostly young audience on a marine adventure of appreciation they could not otherwise have had. His striking images and clear, informative words promote an understanding of the importance of preserving our oceans.
Born out of the collision of tropical light, warm sea temperatures and oceanic currents, the vast area of the Coral Triangle region harbors 75% of all known coral species and more than 3000 species of fish. For the people living here, the sea is more than just a source of food - it’s a way of life fostered across generations by a close dependence on the marine environment. Michael takes you to some of the Coral Triangle’s most magnificent places and Wild Waters Photo Journal celebrates the diversity of the wonders of life in and around our oceans. Having dived with him, I learned how he quietly works to get each picture exactly right, thus conveying his love and concern for everything marine, and it shows.
